Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 24, 2015, Veracyte, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank, which amends the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of June 26, 2013 and the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) dated as of December 18, 2014. Under the First Amendment, term loans for up to an aggregate of $15.0 million are available, in three tranches, each not to exceed $5.0 million. Under the Second Amendment, the Company may request the second term loan of up to $5.0 million through June 30, 2016, an extension from December 31, 2015.
The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement continue to be subject to covenants, including covenants limiting the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, undergo a change in control, merge with or acquire other entities, incur debt, incur liens, pay dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, repurchase stock and make investments, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and to compliance with one of two financial covenants, one requiring a minimum level of liquidity and the other requiring the Company to achieve specified levels of revenues. The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement continue to be secured by a security interest on substantially all of its assets, excluding its intellectual property and certain other assets.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
